4. She's not going to steal it.
The SDs and the DNC won't let it happen.

The nomination is Obama's. Be patient and and let things work out the way they are supposed to.

14. I'm beginning to think the same
Let her peter herself out tilting windmills. The party is adamant about this.

But a lot of people fear being the guy with the hook to yank her off stage. The Clintons are famous for their sense of vengeance.

15. Together.
As a group, is how they hook her.

I feel once all the primaries are over, the majority of the SDs who have not yet committed will come out for Obama, which will put him over the top as far as the math goes and she will have no choice but to bow out.

5. She has zero chance of stealing the nomination. This is about knee capping him.
She is out to hobble his race for the presidency by being a complete jackass for the next three months, and by stirring up every wedge issue she can find. She's pure evil, and worships only her own image.

12. I don't think you have to worry about getting her impeached
Unless you're talking about getting her kicked out of the senate.

She'll never get elected. Every republican, about 80% of the independents, and at least half the Dems, hate her guts.

16. Democracy ended with Bush's steal
This is no steal. The delegates will vote. We will see who they vote for. Not all are going to vote for who their state wanted (which has favored Obama rather than Clinton, so far).

17. Will Obama want elected?
I remember reading something about him promising Michelle that this would be the only time he'd try for the nomination. I dunno if it's just talk, but just throwing it out there.

22. I hope not
But, for some reason (?) many Noms who lose don't seem to be given another shot at the top.

23. They're always "front runner" in very early polls,
then, they get passed over by the "new flavor"

25. If Hillary steals the nomination there will be 2 Democratic Parties
an Obama party and a right wing center party.
